In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to calculate this shear stress. Recall that the E-B theory of beam assumes that beam cross sections always remain perpendicular to the ...

Euler, born in Basel in 1707, showed early signs of genius. He studied with Johann Bernoulli ... differential geometry, number theory and infinite series. In physics, he made major contributions ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...
